About Coach...

Coach Phil Sanders, a 1987 Texas A & M graduate (in the Corp of Cadets for all years of college), began fishing with his grandfather and uncle when he was 8 years old on Lake LBJ. Even while he was coaching for 13 years with 10 years as head coach of tennis, he returned to his family's lakefront often to do what he has loved most - the challenge of fishing. Finding special spots with underwater cover from 3-24 feet below the surface, he knows the perfect environments for fish to feed and can assist even a seasoned fisherman to the best areas of Lake LBJ.

If the weather permits, he'll be out every weekend on the water putting on fish. He enjoys teaching young and old the sport of fishing as well as nature appreciation.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 19)

GOOD. Water stained; 59 degrees; 0.31 feet below pool. Lower end of the lake 52-55 degrees and The Colorado River is 48-52 degrees. In the river target bass with a suspended jerkbait, dropshot and Alabama rig between dock, and the big granite boulders. The boulders warm up the fastest so fish will stage there to spawn. On the lower end of the lake target the mouth of canals where the water is warmer using wacky rigged senkos, jerkbaits or Alabama rigs. If you can find any grass left on the lake use an Alabama rig, jerkbait or dropshot with a 3-4 inch favorite plastic. Report by Charles Whited, Barefoot Fishing Tours. Crappie are fair in 25-30 feet on brush and boulders with minnows. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Bass are good near laydowns and brush piles with jigs, Texas rigged soft plastics, lipless crankbaits and square and some days a spinner baits. Bigger fish are 14-20 feet and as shallow as 5 feet. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs.
